416. By the 4th Table, find the Expansion of Air, with 27°.36, on Feet 423.67 Tenths.

Section 406.

First, with 27°, on 423.67, thus:

viz. on 400

as 4000 = 262.4

decimated 26.24

20

as 2000 = 131.2

.6

as 6000 = 393.6

.03936

.07

as 7000 = 459.2

.004592
—————

Expansion =

27.692752

Section 407.

Second, with .36 on the same, thus:

on 400

as 4000 = 349.9

decimated .3499

20

as 2000 = 174.9

.01749

.6

as 6000 = 524.8

.0005248

.07

as 7000 = 612.3

417. Which Height for Expansion of Air, with more than the Standard Heat, being added[133] to the Height, for Expansion of the Barometer, with the Standard-Heat, gives the true Height of the upper Barometer, at the given Heat.

For Expansion of Air above Standard Heat,

Height in Feet
